One important note about Zogby. Gore was occasionally up by two points in the fifteen days before the election, as was Bush. It really was neck and neck.

While Kerry ties Bush from time to time, I don't think he's had an advantage in Zogby's poll for quite a while. Could be that Frank Luntz was right. In the next few days, the floaters will float to Bush.

With Zogby, as with Rasmussen, as small lead is a big deal. I suspect, based on Bush's small lead in Zogby (assuming Zogby is the polling God he tells everyone he is) that it will be close, but not as close as people think.

I'm calling it. Bush 51-47. 280-258 EV (or, 300-238 if he wins Ohio).

AP - What's your opinion?

Oh my gosh if you are still undecided you are borderline retarded.

You'd think so.
But all you have to do is listen to commentators like Dennis Prager and
Michael Medved talk about how tough it is to "break away" for
ethnic group-think or inter-generational dedications to one particular party.

If someone is STILL undecided, my guess is that they are either fairly
high-IQ folks who are suffering from "paralysis by analysis" or one of
our fellow humans who has a tough time making a go of it with limited mental capabilities.

Or a pathological attention seeker, quite common in our narcissistic society.

Just voted in Wake County in North Carolina on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Waited in line for 1 hour to vote with lines stretching for maybe a couple of hundred feet. Chatted in line with a charming lady from Nicaragua who left because of the Sandinstas and dislikes liberal politics (duh). My guess is that the voter turnout is going to be huge this year. I hope that favors the forces of good and not the forces of evil!

Somebody posted a chart on here a couple weeks ago, can't find it now, that showed the undecideds usually breaking for the incumbent or the incumbent's proxy (like for Gore last time, remember the big last minute gains he got). Undecided's are usually people with a vague concept of disatisfaction that the challenger has been unable to tap, so in the end they stick with the incumbent since the challenger was unable to help them identify their disatisfaction and promise to fix it.

How true. I was born democrat and baptized Catholic. When I voted for Ronald Reagan in 1984...even though I absolutely knew it was the right thing to do...a part of me felt as though I was turning my back on my roots. My grandfather was as dedicated a democrat as I am now Republican and I felt I was betraying him. It didn't stop me from punching that ballot for Ronaldus Magnus though.

And if I recall correctly I was probably undecided right up to election day. I really wrestled with my vote and was emotionally tied to the dem party. I felt inclined to vote for Reagan but I kept waiting for Mondale to give me a reason to vote for him and he simply couldn't.

It can be really tough.
But that's one good thing about the USA...plenty of opportunity to
"get on the right side of history", no matter the path and circumstances
faced by the forbearors.

You have to look deeper into the word "Undecided" for it's true meaning.

UN= The Un-living vote

DECIDED= Democratic DA decided not to investigate therefore letting their votes count.

....Works for me!

He doesn't want to look like an a$$ when Bush wins in a landslide.

How do you define landslide?

In today's electorate, anything over 320 EV's.

I agree...when you gonna figure it out? My belief is that most of the remaining "undecideds" will decide not to vote at this point. I say Bush 52% Kerry 46% Others 2%

I think that may just be it. Zog finally realized kerry is as cooked as that phony goose he claimed he shot, and Zog wants to run away to live to fight another day (for another anti-American RAT)

Does anyone believe that 4% of the electorate is undecided?

Yeah. I am undecided.

Should I vote for Bush/Murkowski when the polls open at 7, or should I wait until after class at 5 and vote for Bush/Murkowski then?
